Frequently asked questions
How quickly should I send a meeting follow-up email?
Within 24 hours, ideally within 4 hours of the meeting. The shorter the gap, the more accurately you'll capture decisions and action items, and the more likely attendees will engage with the email. Sending a follow-up 3+ days after the meeting reduces engagement by 60%+ — by that point most attendees have moved on mentally and won't re-engage with the recap.
Should the meeting follow-up include action items even if we didn't formally assign them?
Yes, and this is one of the highest-leverage parts of writing a follow-up. Most meetings end with implicit ownership ('I'll think about that', 'we should look into this'). The follow-up is your chance to make these explicit: 'Sarah — exploring Shopify-specific copy patterns by Friday' is a real commitment in a way that the meeting hand-wave wasn't. Most meetings under-assign ownership; the follow-up corrects this.
Should I send the follow-up to everyone or just the meeting attendees?
Just the attendees by default. Including non-attendees in the follow-up creates 'meta-meeting' email noise where uninvolved people start commenting on decisions they weren't part of. The exception is when a clear stakeholder couldn't attend — in that case, send a separate, shorter version specifically for them with the relevant decisions and any action items they own.
